NAD+ and why so many people are raving about it (feat. Dr. Nichola Conlon) #337

NAD pops up again and again in the biohacking world, so I thought it only right I investigate further. We've already interviewed Dr. David Sinclair who raves about it, and now it's time to go deep with Dr. Nichola Conlon. More about Nichola. She is: 🔬A scientist, expert in healthy ageing, and CEO & Founder of @nuchido   THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: INSIDE TRACKER: If you want to optimize and biohack and be at your best, it’s worth doing some detailed health testing.  I’ve been using a company that can do it all at home.  InsideTracker is an ultra-personalized performance system that analyzes data from your blood, DNA, lifestyle and fitness tracker to help you optimize your body and reach your health & wellness goals.  So what about my results? One of my blood markers came back well outside range, and now they are helping me to make some detailed changes. That’s great. It’s just something I wouldn’t have known unless I’d taken the test. You can even upload your DNA results to the portal too for extra insights. Visit https://info.insidetracker.com/zestology for a big discount - 25% off, and a cheesy picture of me.

The Strongest Medicine (feat. Dr. Steven Eisenberg) #336

Dr. Steven Eisenberg is one of my favourite former Zestology guests. His interview on Zestology last time kick-started his writing career. He got a big book deal, and he's now brought his own book out. We recorded this just before Love Is the Strongest Medicine: Notes from a Cancer Doctor on Connection, Creativity, and Compassion came out - it's out now. And what's more he is a big fan of my new book, as you'll hear. And this was recorded for both podcasts. So it also features a number of my favourite hacks and tips from my new book on energy.   Sign up on the site and get exclusive extra content, a regular ‘3 Zesty Things' newsletter and slightly blurry shots taken on my phone. DEAL OF THE WEEK: We all cheat sometimes. So it just makes sense to have a way to maintain healthy blood sugar day in, day out, even if you have an “off” day. That’s why I recommend a product called Blood Sugar Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. This easy to take supplement is the result of numerous tests to find the absolute best formula for maintaining healthy blood sugar. In fact, BiOptimizers went through 5 different formulations before landing on this one. Blood Sugar Breakthrough works to safely lower blood sugar after meals so that you can maintain a healthy weight and redirect carbs to your muscles where they can be burned for energy. This means you’ll avoid the worst effects of high blood sugar — like weight gain — while enjoying more stable energy, mental clarity, and fewer cravings. For an exclusive offer for my listeners just go to www.bloodsugarbreakthrough.health/zestology and save 10 percent with code ZESTOLOGY10 then you try Blood Sugar Breakthrough. Oh, and if you use that link www.bloodsugarbreakthrough.health/zestology your exclusive 10% discount will already be applied.

Today, clear the clutter from your home, life and mind. How editing and organisation will change your headspace. Shira's book is on pre-order now on Amazon and is going to be epic!

Broken into small, bite-sized chunks, she makes it clear that if the process is fun and easy to follow, anyone can learn the principles of editing and organization.

"You can drink two bottles of this stuff" #328

Today we devote a whole section to that most noble of causes: hacking hangovers and staying energized even when drinking alcohol (responsibly, of course). Why the title of the podcast? Listen on to find out. I am unfortunately Mr. Sensitive these days when it comes to booze. Maybe it’s an age thing. Or maybe I always was a lightweight. But just like many people, I still do want the occasional drink. You may do as well. It turns out there are some unusual, radical hacks you can employ to drink cleaner and feel better the next day. Sure, alcohol can be toxic. But so can oxygen, water and even carrots in the wrong dosage. (Some years ago, an unfortunate death did actually happen due to the overconsumption of carrots.) All this tells us that dosage is everything. When you get your alcohol intake right, a review of the literature shows it can boost your overall happiness, euphoria, and pleasant, carefree feelings (1). Sounds good, right? Of course, the best way for us all to avoid that hangover feeling is to not drink in the first place. If you’ve got some meh going on and are also drinking more than a couple of drinks a night or a couple of times a week, you need to cut it down. This is the first lifestyle change you’re going to want to make. Get specialist help if you need. Lecture over.
